Abuja — The United Action for Democracy (UAD), has accused the outgoing president of the United States of America, Gorge W. Bush, of sponsoring terrorism in the world and called on the United Nations to end the murderous assault in the Middle East and charge Bush for crime against humanity.

UAD, in a statement by Comrade Abiodun Aremu said more than hundreds of Palestinians have been killed with at least 60 women and children, with many sustaining various degrees of injuries, adding "the US-supplied F-16 bombers used by Israel to rubble Gaza 's universities, mosques, government buildings, hotels and even youth centrer."

It added that Gaza, which is home to about 1.4 million Palestinians and one of the most impoverished and densely populated places in the world, suffered under an Israeli blockade for months; denied of food, medical supplies and other essentials.

According to the statement "We also deplore the complicity of the US establishment in the terrorist attack on Gaza , with its tacit approval as revealed by a spokesperson for George Bush that "the US understands that Israel needs to take actions to defend itself. For those expecting miracle from the Obama presidency, his silence in the face of Israel's aggression and kowtowing to Bush should be clear to all that US and its imperialist allies' obsession to dominate the rest of humanity will not change. What has been the US (Bush or Obama) stand to Israel 's November 4 unilateral breaking of a six-month truce with the Palestinians?

"The UAD is of the strong view that the US should be held responsible for the escalation of terrorism and violence in the world; and, therefore challenged the UN (if it is serious about a peaceful world) to charge George Bush and his cohorts of murderous Israelis' rulers to the War Tribunal for crimes against humanity"
